A few things I might suggest for increasing performance of the webtop: - upgrade to 5.1.5 (we are always adding performance tweaks as we find them) - make sure the JVM is tuned; FarCry is designed to soak up memory, so its essential that the JVM has enough memory allocated - make sure CF is tuned; turn on trusted cache! - optimise the database; because applications vary so enormously its all but impossible to predict what indices will be required on database tables. You must profile the database and add indices where needed -- for large data-sets this will have a potentially *enormous* impact. - check the environment; things like disk fragmentation can have a significant impact on performance (especially if trusted cache is turned off) - check table sizes for farLog and refObjects. You may need to periodically truncate farLog and rebuild refObjects if the audit table is getting unwieldy. With respect to the tree, how many nodes do you have in the tree? As Blair mentioned, 5.x has a new permissions structure that is built and cached for the tree. This unfortunately means the initial tree build is relatively slow, but subsequent builds are very fast. It may make a big difference if we put up a loading graphic indicating that the tree is building its cache rather than presenting users with nothing. Might be we have to rethink the caching model entirely for big trees. Let us know.
